Moon Tiger

Winner of the prestigious Man Booker Prize in 1987, and most recently the Golden Man Booker for Best Award-winning book of the 1980s, Moon Tiger is a delightful and sophisticated novel that chronicles the life of Claudia Hampton, a writer of well-known historical disclosure, which now lies in a bed of a London hospital, alone and old, about to die. Memories still shine in his increasingly fragile consciousness, and he imagines himself writing a world story. Instead, Moon Tiger is hers, historically, that of a strong, cold, independent and sometimes difficult woman, for whom relationships with family and friends have been complicated and strained and who keeps a secret. intimate and devastating. The novel goes back and forth in time and recreates the complex mosaic of the chaotic and unconventional life of this ungovernable woman, at the center of which still beats, frozen in time, a disturbing and unrepeatable love story.
